Scenario on airport works Session 5 Presentation 1
Futureland International Airport Work site
When will construction begin? What is the daily schedule for work? Will construction vehicles have access to movement areas? Which ones? Who is the point of contact? Telephone Radio frequency Review Construction Plan
How are runways typically assigned? Is either a primary arrival or departure runway? Are both runways typically active and used? Multiple or single runway? Can a single runway support the expected traffic volume? How is RWY 6/24 typically used? How is RWY 13/31 typically used? Review Runway Use Plan
If restrictions to arrivals are anticipated, what is the plan to ensure restrictions are in place in a timely manner? Does the facility have the means to enact departure delays if required? What are they? Who will be responsible for carrying them out. Review Traffic Management Options
Normal ground operations will have to be adapted to accommodate a single runway with a single point of access/exit. Can aircraft be held in the RWY 24 turning circle? This could be advantageous for staging RWY 13 departures, or Holding a RWY 31 arrival while another aircraft lands or departs. The taxiway connecting RWY 13/31 and the Main Apron will have to be protected to avoid gridlock. Review Taxi and Ground Movement Plan
Ensure a sensible plan is in place for movement between the Grass Parking area and the Main Apron with extra emphasis on awareness of activity in and around the work site. What plan is in place to communicate all changes to normal operations to airport users? Taxi/Ground Movement cont’d
Will additional staffing be required to: Manage flow control; Coordinate a more complicated ground movement plan; Accommodate more airborne holding; Manage potential ground hold procedures; or Control movement of construction vehicles to/from the work site? Review Tower Staffing Plan
High level briefing covering: Changes to current procedures; Duration and schedule of planned closure; Any changes made in the previous steps; Weekly and/or daily briefings: Construction status; Weather forecast and its possible impact; Problems encountered/lessons learned. Training Develop Briefing Package For Air Traffic Controllers
If arrivals and departures are typically sequenced to different runways then it can be anticipated that greater than normal spacing will be required to allow for each departure to have time to back taxi to the takeoff position. Return to previous slide. Multiple runway operation
If the airport typically only uses one runway at a time then the procedures for a runway 13/31 operation will have to be followed for the duration of the construction project. Return to previous slide. Single Runway
